“我们可以生活在一个去化石燃料的世界中吗?”“意识存在于何处?”“为什么时间似乎只朝一个方向流动?”……上海交通大学携手《科学》杂志共同发布了125个全世界最受关注的科学问题。新版125个科学问题中,个别问题是持续关注上版问题中至今尚未解决的重大科学难题,如“宇宙是由什么构成的”“我们可以阻止自己衰老吗”。也有具有挑战性的全球共性问题,如“我们可以阻止全球气候变化吗”“能量存储的未来是怎样的”“我们有可能在另一个星球上长期居住吗”;还有具有较强时代特征的前沿科技问题,如“为什么生命需要手性”“量子人工智能可以模仿人脑吗”“DNA可以广泛用作信息存储介质吗”“我们如何在火星上开发制造系统”…… 1.
